He doesn’t have to say he needs sacking. It makes zero difference. He’s made it clear he’s never going to call for a United manager to be sacked so stop hoping for it.
Gary Neville
- Thread starter jymufc20
- Start date
He portrays himself as someone who can think clearly with no affilations and only has the good of the club/league in mind.
Yet, he's so obviously biased towards Ole.

For a dumb ex footballer he sure tries to act clever. His stance on Ole of course is pure crap and idiocy
He has proven to be a clown for a long time now.
Yeah I'm not sure why this bothers everyone so much. As if the club will only act once Gary Neville turns on him.
Reading between the lines, it's pretty clear he thinks he should go but he's not going to stick the knife into a friend on national television.
How can he be a pro pundit, and not say the obvious though?
It's so very obvious, that he's just conning everyone not saying it.
The likes of he and Rio need to feck off out of it.
Not pulling any punches, calling it a shocker
So he's pointing out how awful we were. Where does the buck stop Gary?
Being a pundit is more complex than being an objective journalist. He doesn’t need to say it. He’s not commenting on politics. Look at how Souness acts, or Carragher. Just accept he’s got some United mates which will come with its own benefits at times. When we are losing you’re not going to see those benefits.
The need from people for Neville/Rio to speak out amazes me. It make zero difference.
Everyone knows he needs to go. We don't need them to approve it
In all truth, it's all semantics. He has basically said he needs to go without saying it. If you take all his comments about what needs changing, any reasonable person would say for those things to change, the coach has to change.
Sounness bang on re positional play.
G Nev just squirming round directly calling it out. He’s an absolute idiot saying Greenwood and Rashford can’t press.

Whilst he doesn’t have to actively call for his sacking, it’s embarrassing that when he gets pressed on the manager, he always says he should get more time.
The pundits on BeinSports were as blunt as necessary, he needs to seriously consider resigning.

Neville is correct in calling out our players and their pathetic 'press'
In full agreement, just not as brave to point it out so bluntly.
Exactly. Rio and Neville would be massively less effective pundits if they burnt their bridges. Just look elsewhere when things get tough, they have zero influence.
Definitely defends his pals.
I like him though in general as a pundit. Carra to an extent too, but he is sometimes far too bias toward Liverpool. Every Lpool players best attribute, they're the best in the world at.
ie. "TAA is a terrific crosser, best in world football" "VVD is a very good passer of a ball, best in world football for me" many more examples, but you get the gist

Neville's angle is always that “this is on the players”
Neville knows Ole has to go IMO, and you can bet your last dollar if Conte got the job he wouldn't complain that OGS should have stayed and been given time. He'll be all aboard the Conte train
"...but not the ones that I have a personal or working relationship with"
Shockingly, Souness is correct in almost everything he's saying - and it all contradicts Neville's nonsense.
I don't know what broadcast you were all watching, Neville was damning of our tactics and setup today.
The pathetic press is a symptom. I'm sorry but we have never pressured well with Ole. How many times do you see Bruno running like a madman, all for him to simply get bypassed. Fred is a pressing monster, its the only thing he even does. Cavani and Rashford have always give so much, in fact Rashford running himself to the group might be responsible for some of his injuries. Yet despite all that, people haven't yet come to the realization that simply pressing doesn't do anything, but the organization behind a press matters just as much.
Everything he said was bang on, he’s furious.
Neville hasn’t a clue. Every player can press if instructed to do so. To say a player can’t press is saying a player cant do the basics in football.
You lot are fecking ridiculous. He has criticised Ole several times tonight. You’re more interested in creating sensational narratives.
He’s full of nonsense.
Neville is fuming here.
He’s absolutely sickened.
He’s absolutely sickened.
I feel bad for him, his co workers trying to properly put the boot in
He literally said the team should have been setup different so that’s not true is it?
The host and Spitty were definitely baiting him there and he was riding to it.
I don’t agree. I think he made a good point, Ronaldo isn’t going to press like Salah etc.
Neville’s absolutely right what he’s saying.
No they can’t, and Klopp and his back room team know this which is why they only target a certain type of player
Starting to change his tune I think.
He literally did when Jose was manager and lost 3-1 to Liverpool. This is 10 times worse today.
Exactly - he’s spot on. He alsomade a good point that we have Lukaku and therefore have runners around him as he doesn’t press well, like Ronaldo.
He noted that it’s down to the manager to sort the team around a superstar. He’s not covering for Ole at all today.
Did he say united should sack Jose? And if so do you have the quotes?
Mate we've never pressed well under anyone. That's why i'm beginning to think it's not something we do, or look for when we sign players.
He's right, and was one of the first to criticize Ole and call out our lack of a system. People are waiting or expecting him to say something like Ole should go, but he will always stop short of calling for the manager's head regardless of the club.
I think that's probably right. I was moaning in the match day thread about Neville pussyfooting around, criticising everything but not actively calling for Ole to go. I have conceded he was never going to verbalise 'Ole Out' and I agree that it doesn't make much difference which talking head; Gaz, Rio, Keane, whoever, says what on any particular topic.
However for me Gaz would be calling for this manager's head if he was at any other club. The fact it's Ole and the fact it's United is making Gaz equivocate in a way that seems to be at odds with his straight talking reputation. That's all really, I do think the obsession with what he says or doesn't say is funny (and I've even had a little go of it myself today
).
